The nomination made by the republican
caucus has been ratified by the legisla-
ture and Algernon S. Paddock will rep
resent Nebraska for the next six years in
the senate of the United States. This Sc
lection is by no means a surprise, except
ing so far as it registers the defeat OF
General Van Wyck, whose reelection
seemed to be an assured fact. Mr. rad
dock did not enter the race this time as n
dark horse, but had staked his chances
of success upon careful can
vass of the members of the
legislature both before and since
The November election. He possessed
elements of strength which made him the
most prominent of Van Wyck's competi-
tors. He had the experience OF former
term in the United States senate and the
advantage of pioneer in the founding OF
this state. 1t was his fortune not to be
the real choice of the monopolies but to
be in position to profit by their bitter and
relentless warfare on General Van
Wyck. The struggle which eliminated
in his selection was an open
fight in which the majority
HDdilJ CbnlpTbu upon lIlc mon
who was to them the least Objectionable,
The attempt to displace Van Wyck by
John NJ. Thurston, the railroad attorney
of the Union Pacific, was regarded al
most as an insoent menace to popular
sovereignty. While quite number of
reckless men in the legislature were will
ing to risk whatever odium might attach
itself to the act, the more sober-minded
and reputable members did not dare
to go back home with n monopoly
lawyer as the successor of Van Wyck.
Quite apart from the political significance
of the change, Mr.. Paddock's reelection
will afford general satisfaction. He has
been citizen of Nebraska for thirty
years, assisted largely in building up the
state and its institutions and contributed
greatly to its material welfare. He has
made very useful member of the ma.
tional legislature in promoting the inter.
ests of his state, and will return to the
senate better equipped than ever for the
work he has to do. Among all the com
petitors in this race none were more dl-
rectly interested in the growth and ad-
vancement of this city than MIR, Paddock.
Omaha was his home for many years and
here he has large property interests. The
business men of Omaha will therefore
feel gratified that MIR. Paddock did not
draw blank in the legislative lottery.

THE tragedy at Jersey City, in the kill
ing of lad by one of the Pinkerton men
on guard at the yards of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad com.
pany, will again call public attention to
the question whether the employment of
these special police, supplied as occasion
may require, and generally made up of
a more or less reckless and irresponsible
class, ought not to be prohibited by
law. 1t will be remomoered that the
shooting of several mon at Chicago, at
the time of the last strike of the packers,
caused wide discussion of this ques-
ton, but we are not aware that steps
were taken anywhere to provide
against the use of what are known
as "Pinkerton men" The latest out
rage, for such it was, will recall attention
to the matter, and ought to result in some
action by the state legislatures. Men
who discharge their revolvers with deadly
purpose into crowd of boys are unsafe
guardians of the public peace.

a SUGGESTION.

OMAHA, Jan %. To the Editor of the
BEE' In order to protect responsible and
honorable contractors and at the same
tim, honest journeymen and wage.work-
ers, against irresponsible and unpriuci-
pied parties, who attempt to carry out H.
legitimate methods of competition, why
would 1T not be a good thing for Omaha
to follow the plan adopted by the me-
chanics and contractors of St Louis. In
that way the interests of all concerned in
mechanical or any other accompanying
work would be protected. In st. Louis
the rule is that no architect will receive a
bid from or let job of work to, any ire
sponslble party or parhcs-thoSe who
cannot furnish good and sufficient bonds
to cover all damages that may occur
from any violation of the contract This
has worked well wherever tried and why
not try it here. l merely make this as u
suggestion to those whose interests are at
stake in the premises. G. w. GREEN.

The two Louisianians-Congre
King and Cuthbert b. Jones-who are en-
gagged IN bitter feud at Washington
which may terminate in blood letting,
are getting more notoriety than they
merit, or could have achieved by behaving
themselves. 1t is a personal quarrel,
each having published most insulting re-
Elections upon the other and most Of his
relatives, leaving the world to infer that
both are blackguards by inheritance.
Jones seems by far the more anxious to
secure Satisfaction" and TO that end
appears willing to commit murder ac-
cording to the code. King, however,
doesn't manifest any taste for this sort of
settlement, and with complacency IN
tolerable to the Louisiana view of such
matters has taken unresistingly all sorts
of insult, even to slap in the face. At
last accounts the friends of the congress
man were insisting that he must fight or
leave Washington. but 1t is more than
likely he will not do either. Meanwhile the
irate Jones, like General Boum. "thirsts
for blood aud howls for gore" 1t is un-
certain what the end will be- but it
would not be surprising if one or both
paid the penalty of their made folly with
their lives, At best it is disgraeeful

southern side, of course, for he was loyal
to his section of the country. He was

Mr.. Grady was so situated that neither
the war nor his fathers fate deprived
him of the blessing of thorough cduca-
ton, He became graduate of the Uni
versity of Georgia and of the University
of Virginia. At nineteen, impelled by
the uncomfortable bent of his genius
(Which is journalistic above all else), he
became the owner of Il daily paper IN
Rome, Georgia, and later of a daily paper
in Atlanta. James Gordon Bennett then
appointed him southern correspond
ent of the Herald and he held
that place six years, doing
notable work there, as in the eX-
posurc of the Florida electoral conspir
acy IN 1876, and in the publication of n
digest of Jefferson DAVIS book before it
was issued. SIX years ago he bought
into the Atlanta Constitution, paying
$780, 900 for a quarter interest, the capital
of the concern being 100000. To-day
the stock is quoted at five dollars for one.
Whether it was luck or foresight on his
part, he has got what in business circles
is often called "a soft thing" for his
paper is practically without competitors.
If he can't find room for piece of news
to-day he can hold it over until to-mor-
row and it will still be news.
Under Mr.. Grady's management the
Constitution has been original, entcrpris-
ing and brilliant, so that its weekly cdi.

three times what would be considered Il
good circulation for daily in city of
Atlanta's size in other parts of the coun

Passed the House.

The house of representatives Yesterday,
by a vote OF 2l7 to Al, adopted the report
OF the Interstate commerce committee,
which carries with it the passage of the
bill. The discussion of the report in the
house, which was continued through
three days, developed an opposition
which was expected to show greater
strength in the vote than is shown by the
result, and the very large majority by
which the report was adopted is sur
prise. 1t is gratifyingly so, too, since it
demonstrates that the efforts of the cor
poration attorneys, which have been
most assiduously exerted upon the repre-
scntatives since the bill passed the senate,
were unavailing. A more complete tri-
umph of the popular voice, in a matter
of the greatest Importance on which the
people and the corporations were dis.
tinctly arrayed against each other, has
never occurred in the history of the gov
ernment. 1t is victory on which the
people are to be most earnestly and
heartily congratulated.

The question of regulating Interstate
commerce, as affected by railroad trans

the president to indicate what his views
are regarding it, 1t is, however, not
probable that he would put himself in OPP
position to the very nearly unanimous
public opinion by withholding his ap-
proyal OF the measure, and he Will be less
